Typing of Anterior Region of the Forearm Superficial Veins

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the study is to classify the superficial veins of the anterior region of the forearm (regio antebrachii anterior) in healthy individuals aged 18 to 68 years, and to gather data on the anastomotic patterns and course of these veins. Materials and Methods: In this study, conducted at Firat University Hospital, a total of 400 arms from individuals aged 18 to 68 years were examined using the Accuvein AV300 vein imaging device. Among them, 100 were male and 100 were female. The superficial veins including v. cephalica, v. basilica, and v. mediana antebrachii originating from the palmar manus were classified based on their course and anastomotic patterns in the regio antebrachii anterior. Results: In the study, the distribution of superficial vein types in the regio antebrachii anterior was compared based on gender and symmetry between the right and left arms. The comparison revealed statistically significant differences between the right and left arms in the classification of v. cephalica and v. basilica veins, while no significant difference was found for v. mediana antebrachii. Conclusion: As a result of the data obtained, the study conducted; We anticipate that it will provide information about the course and anastomoses of the veins in this region, which is difficult to dissect.
